Hi All,
I was in the garage this evening doing my brakes and an oil change and got everything done but the rear pads. I used the iLand diagnostic tool to set the parking brakes to the service position, as directed in the JLR maintenance procedures. I could hear the e-brake motors working and the dash said something to the effect of "parking brake in maintenance position".
So i was happy thinking this would be an easy end to the night, however, once i got the wheel off and the old pads out I noticed the piston was still pushed out. Tried to put the new EBC pads in anyway but of course the piston would not clear.
I reassembled the caliper with the old pads and tried deactivating maintenance mode and then activating again - both times the motors whirred but the piston would never retract. I even got in the wheel well with a flashlight on the piston caliper and watched but nothing happened. The motors would whir for a few seconds and then there would be a pop sound as they finished the cycle, the piston would jump slightly but not retract!
When i pull the e-brake the car stops fine and my brakes work great. Am I missing a step?
